From 22 July to 2 August, we enjoyed the visits of two PhD students, Sadig Mulas <\/strong>and Joona Kontula <\/strong>from CIEMAT<\/a> and Aalto University<\/a>, respectively, to our group. Sadig and Joona came to work with us within the collaboration between the three institutions (CIEMAT – Aalto University – BSC) on numerical modelling of fast ions in the TJ-II stellarator<\/a>. The TJ-II stellarator is an experimental fusion device is located at the CIEMAT headquarters in Madrid, Spain, which uses fast ions injected by neutral beam injection to heat the plasma.<\/p>\n

The union of the three institutions results in a great scenario for collaboration: CIEMAT provides the experimental machine, the TJ-II stellarator, and the corresponding experimental results; Aalto University provides the numerical code ASCOT<\/a> to simulate the dynamics of the particles; and BSC provides the computational support with MareNostrum4<\/a> together with experience in fast ions and their modelling.<\/p>\n

Our work was mainly focused on the first estimations of the current driven by neutral beam injected ions in TJ-II with ASCOT. Our first results will be reported by Sadig in September at the 22nd <\/strong>International Stellarator and Heliotron Workshop<\/strong>,<\/a> Madison, WI, 2019, organized by University of Wisconsin-Madison.

We are grateful to the HPC-Europa3 Transnational Access programme<\/strong> and EUROfusion Education and Training Work Package<\/strong> for the funding\u00a0 Joona’s and Sadig’s visits, respectively, and we look forward to welcoming them again for their second visit in October.<\/p>\n
